A joke only line crews get

Some jokes don’t need explaining. In line work, “strip” has nothing to do with a stage and everything to do with copper, insulation, and getting the job done right.

This phrase lives squarely in that world—shared humor among people who climb poles, work live lines, and go home tired.

Why it hits with linemen

Lineman culture is built on pride, skill, and dark humor. The work is serious, but the jokes are not. That contrast is exactly why this line lands.

It reads fast, works from a distance, and signals trade identity without shouting.
